Violet's sister is called...?

We've just found out we are having another girl and I am totally stumped on girls names! I was certain I was having a boy and had the name all picked out!!

Could you help me with name suggestions to go with Violet? I don't want anything old fashioned again so I would like something with more of a modern sound. A few on my list but I'm not sold on are:

Honor (husband hates this)
Amelie (a new addition- maybe too similar to Emily? I've got an Emily in the family)
Iris (not sure about another flower)
Esme (love this but I would pronounce it Ez-me and I think everyone else says Ez-may)
Winnie/Bobbie/Billie (like these but don't love the long versions of the names)

Margaret. I know it sounds too traditional or old fashioned at first but.....
Violet and Meg is gorgeous!

All good 'middle of the road' names, not old or too modern

was thinking Elizabeth/ Eliza but my mind went Violet ...Elizabeth ....Bott - not a good idea

Was going to suggest Rosie until I saw your last post! Really like primrose nickname Primmie??!

Lockdownbear · 29/03/2021 10:00

Rose or Rosie is what I was thinking, but someone has suggested Primrose, which I really like and it could get shortened.

My only worry is she could get teased as Miss Prim.

Primrose.
